Millions of shoppers are eagerly coming through Amazon looking for Prime Day deals – but it bears remembering that, in the geek world, the word “Prime” has other significance. Long before Amazon made shopping an exercise for your thumbs on phone screens, the world “Prime” was most famously associated with the greatest leader in history: Transformers‘ Optimus Prime!

For kids growing up in the ’80s (like myself), there will only ever be one true “Prime Day” worth celebrating.ย
The Sick Irony
Ironically there are no Transformers on sale in Amazon Prime Day pic.twitter.com/ph1dpy49Pw

The sick irony in all this, is that of all the many fine deals that Amazon is offering on Prime Day, not one applies to Transformers merchandise! That needs to be corrected by next year!
